One of my favorite parts is the curiosity the hosts have: all the talk about monster dicks or shadow daddies is surrounded by a genuine examination of why people like these things instead of just writing them off.

Really well researched and informed podcast hosts with backgrounds in academia, literature, and fandom spaces both on and offline. I legitimately feel smarter for listening to this podcast and I’m looking forward to their next season.

The convos, topics & my favorite part about this podcast is the open dialogue and banter. Love listening, learning and exploring everything discussed. I highly recommend especially if you love books!

Literally one of the best podcasts I listen to. The hosts have great chemistry and it flows naturally. It’s so funny and smart like oh my god listen to this everyone.

genuinely adore every time they drop a new episode. the longer the better I want to hear them Talk About It

this podcast is wonderful. makes me feel sane in a world that tends not to be. excellent criticism and fantastic recommendations.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. I don’t read much, it’s a difficult task for me. I don’t have much interest in fandoms, and the literary spaces this podcast touches on. Yet, the hosts have such good chemistry, and I really appreciate their points of view. Adrie’s episode on the RWA was so enthralling, by the end of it I wanted to give her a standing ovation. This podcast has been added to the list of things I use to help me get stuff done throughout the day. I highly recommend!

While I was making the mistake to read the Anita Blake series, I came across Stitch’s reviews and wanted moooore (without having to subject myself to more of Anita’s shenanigans). Anyway, as a recovering chronically online person and Black girl who’s been in fandom since the mid-2000s, call me Ali Larter because I am OBSESSED.

i was recommended this podcast by a friend as i’m just beginning my interest in romance novels. im only two episodes in but im already so excited to listen to each episode. hosts are so funny and put so much energy and thought into the subject matters. i am learning so much and im looking forward to hearing more episodes. as a trans person i always feel alone in my enjoyment and critical thoughts about romance and it’s nice to know im not alone and also learn so much from the hosts. thank you for this!
